Deep relaxation over a 48-acre former tea plantation...

Santani Wellness Resort & Spa, Sri Lanka

Deeply restorative surroundings...

Santani Wellness Resort & Spa is touted to be one of the best spas in the world. With the word Santani translating from Sanskrit as “in harmony with,” the entire resort is designed to bring you into balance with nature and the treatments are off-the-chart. Santani is Sri Lanka’s first and only purpose-built wellness hotel – and it takes it seriously. They use natural ventilation and are completely air-condition free, because it saves over 70% of energy and is healthier for the body. Located over a 48-acre former tea plantation, the pristine forest makes a deeply restorative destination spa.
